Coin collecting is a very fun and rewarding hobby. The most beneficial aspect of collecting coins comes in the form of education about who or what is on a coin, where it was made, why it was made, and the history behind the design of the coin. Books are one of the most valuable possessions in a coin collector's den because they offer all the information behind the collection.

We have assembled a list of some of the more pertinent books for beginner collectors. While this list does not include all of the thousands of books you can obtain, it is a good start in what will likely be a growing numismatic library.

Be sure to click on the 'find-it' link next to each book's title if you would like more information. Each of these links takes you to 'Google', a powerful web search engine, with the title of the book as the search keyword. This will help you begin to find a source to purchase that title.
